Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	I don't know how to make my point any better, it's an instant classic. It's gonna be a blowout hit in the theaters because of the comedy - and the message behind it is about as powerful as could legally be put in a movie. I mean... this is close to that "yelling fire in a crowded theater" line. VERY close. Sorry, most movies just don't yank my chain, but this one pulled my ***ing chain OFF. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	Hmm... I may need to rephrase that and say that it's only on itunes as far as I'm aware. The trailer just says "on demand 4/6, theaters 5/11." ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money.

Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	Damn, not availible free with prime from amazon. Good reviews though! Quote: Are you one of those people who feel ill when exposed to reality televison? Did you watch the moive Idiocracy and think, "This isn't just a movie, it's a prophecy." Do you let idiots win arguments because it just isn't worth it to waste the oxygen? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then I highly recommend that you watch God Bless America. God Bless America has to be one smartest films I've seen in years. This isn't some generic garbage that Hollywood poops out, with the intention of pleasing everyone...it's the exact opposite. This movie has a target audience, and you'll be 100% sure if you're that target audience, if you can make it past the first five minutes of the movie. If you can't make it past the first five minutes of this movie, I would suggest you go and enjoy some Jersey Shore reruns. Quote: I hope this movie spreads and the world takes note of its message. If we only listened to the message in "Network" we wouldn't even have this film. It a very funny and dark look into American society and if you don't get it, you are the problem. I hope one day I get to see a world where the obvious and shallow no longer rule public opinion. Thank you for not talking or using your phone during the feature. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	Well, I just started watching it again... The review upthread that said if you could make it through the first 5 minutes, you were good to go... I think I'd cut that to 2:45. Not going to tell you what happens, but it's the smile there that just absolutely MAKES the scene. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Ben Posts: 6175 Incept: 2009-10-09 The Distant, Glorious, Past	"Not going to tell you what happens, but it's the smile there that just absolutely MAKES the scene." To put that on camera...I don't know how they managed to get that past the censors. That is taboo #1 in the USA and pushes all the buttons. I cannot see many Americans likely that and sitting still for it. We here are a tiny, tiny fraction of the populace. ---------- "Why are you going to learn French?"

Billy_ray_v Posts: 1039 Incept: 2010-10-08 east of the rockies	A sick falling Down by a beat up and sore-ass duo of a boomer and a millenial. Falling Down was snarky,....this notsomuch. 4 to 6 years ago I may have seen and enjoyed it,but with the turn this country has taken since then I am afraid I couldn't bear to partake.

Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	It's almost an idiocracy prequel, just set in the current time. Or maybe it would be better called an anti-idiocracy prequel. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Jubber Posts: 13936 Incept: 2007-07-05 UK	watching it at the moment, definitely a bit of "Leon" influence there ---------- �The problem with socialism is that, sooner or later, you run out of other people�s money.� Thatcher 2012-04-13 05:24:37 Permalink
Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	There are little influences from all sorts of ***, but it still manages to be original too....

Djloche Posts: 3270 Incept: 2008-07-07 In the Mountains Online	here's the rotten tomatoes link: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/god_bles.... Quote: Indeed, its focus is on the betrayal of simple, humanistic values, such as kindness, consideration, and personal responsibility, and it certainly offers an unflattering portrait of contemporary entertainment, that wasteland of valueless depravity. In fact, at a certain point it stops being funny, mostly because you�re either absorbed into the characters� crusade or repulsed by it, but also because there�s simply too much truth in its story � for good or bad -- to simply take it in as casual, or even purely mean-spirited entertainment. ---------- "If we wish to be free, we must fight!

Marc2mrkt Posts: 369 Incept: 2008-04-12 Taipei	Just downloaded and watched. As I said in the other thread 20 pages back or so in Fedup, if Frank went after banksters and politicians instead, it would have had more depth and meaning. Great movie, right up there with Idiocracy for social commentary. When/if this comes to Asia, its going to make people here think the USA is an insane asylum. 2012-04-13 16:14:16 Permalink

Goldmanssack Posts: 1076 Incept: 2009-07-08 There is no pain, you are receding	Was a great movie...Shocking at times too...But I feel like I'm on another list now after watching it. ---------- "But like every one of the superstates that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace" - The Obsolete Man, Twilight Zone 2012-04-13 16:27:59 Permalink
Asimov Posts: 103857 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	I really like how they set the whole tone of the movie before they even show the title (at about three minutes in.) BTW, to those that have watched it, when frank gets into the box at the beginning of the movie, what is that patch that's there? He's obviously former military - though it's never mentioned (there are dog tags in there too.) I'm just wondering what the patch is. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money.

Quote: From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait comes a scathing and hilarious attack on all that is sacred in the United States of America. NFW. SRLSY? Okay...just watched the trailer. I'm in. Please, please, PLEASE tell me they hit DC and Wall Street. If they just go around offing Hollywood types (not that this isn't appealing), but I'm going to be really disappointed. ---------- Stop the Looting; Start Prosecuting - http://www.FedUpUSA.org/ "The only regulation that really works is failure."--Rick Santelli Last modified: 2012-04-13 18:26:18 by pika-steph 2012-04-13 18:22:53 Permalink
Oldno7 Posts: 2138 Incept: 2008-11-14 RECALL STATE USA	Come on all you hypocrites you must have had fantasies where you thought of just blowing away that ***** for just being stupid.
